DualShock 4 controller catches fire during gameplay
Redditor Chino1130 posted an image of his controller, saying that it caught fire while he was playing GTA Online this morning.
From the look of it, it appears that the lithium ion battery in the controller malfunctioned and burned the plastic cover that separates it from the logic board.
According to Chino1130, the battery itself is the original in the controller, not an aftermarket one. This is the first time we’ve heard a DualShock 4 controller catching fire.

partyrockWhom That is so dangerous, It could of went so so wrong.
How long was it played on for, that may not make a difference.
he probably had it on for a long time, I'm guessing
The PS4 hasn't been out for 'a long time'. I still use the original white Xbox 360 controller that is probably 8-9 years old. There is no excuse for the shut catching fire, no matter the age.

Scott How much would you shit yourself if this happened to you?
Wonder if he was on for a long time or only just got on
If he had been on for hours on end then fair enough
It shouldn't matter how long he was playing for it shouldn't set on fire!!! Even if he was playing for hours or 5 minutes

He should tweet & email Sony this with proof and a full detail. This could be a serious issue that should be looked into.

How long was this guy playing for?!!??!? I;m used to long play sessions and have never had my PS4 controller even get relatively warm.
And to all the Microsoft dick riders in the comments, don't you have anything better to do than pretend that your console is better?
